Beatles: George Harrison's mum 'disgusted' by screaming fans
A letter from Beatle George Harrison 's mother saying she was " disgusted" at how fans screamed through one of The Band 's gigs is up For Sale .
In The Letter Louise Harrison shared her reactions after watching The Band perform in Manchester in 1963.
" Nobody with any sense would pay and queue for a ticket just to stand on a seat and scream and not hear one sound from The Stage , " she wrote.
Her response is one of 25 letters to Beatles fan Janet Gray being auctioned.
Mrs Harrison, who, answered thousands of letters from Beatles fans around The World .
She had a regular correspondence with Ms Gray when she was a teenager between 1963 and 1966, as The Band rose to worldwide stardom.
In one being sold at the Liverpool Beatles Memorabilia Auction on 26 August, Mrs Harrison said she was " " disgusted at The Way the so-called fans just screamed" at the Manchester gig.
She added: " I was really ashamed I was a female. "
That letter is expected to fetch £100-£150.
She even offered counsel to the teenager, writing: " I hope you will try and remember that your mum is your Best Friend , even if you don't see eye-to-eye on some issues.
" Thank God I get on fine with all my four children and they with each other. "
In other letters, she shared news about her famous son, including when he survived uninjured in a crash in 1964 and the occasional motherly concern about his health after seeing him in Surrey later that year.
" George was there Five Days before I Came Home . He is very thin but OK. "
At times, she revealed to Ms Gray how responding to fans' letters could become overwhelming.
" Glad to hear you have a boyfriend. Hope you pass the GCE OK, " she added.
" I'm so busy I could scream. 3,000 letters to answer at least. So I'll say cheerio for now. "
After a European holiday in 1966, Mrs Harrison wrote: " I Am hoping The Boys will have a successful tour of America despite all the rumours we have heard. "
The Band did indeed have a memorable tour and her son later carved out a successful musical career after The Group split in 1969.
His song Deep Blue is reported to have been inspired by His Mother 's fatal illness a year later and was released as a B-side to his 1971 single in support of Bangladesh's war for independence.
He died of cancer at the Age Of 58 in 2001.
